Sydney:Juvenilia Press,2009Z17259732009selected work poetry AbstractDorothy Hewett, renowned Australian playwright and poet, grew up on a huge wheat and sheep farm in Western Australia. Her rural surroundings nurtured a rich imaginative life, recorded in poetry and in her first play The Gipsy Dancer. These previously unpublished works reveal her early dramatic flair and her youthful commitment to the world of words, with a subject matter surprisingly different from much of her later writing.
